RE: Installing Debian and WinNT4.0
Hey Tom!
How are you?
I got NT & Linux to work like this:
Boot up linux, and log in as Root
get to a command prompt
when you have, type the following:
dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/dev/fd0/lnxboot.sec bs=512
replace /dev/hda2 with the boot partition for linux (usually hda2, I
think...)
Set WindowsNT to boot, and crank it up, Logon as Administrator (or with
Administrator Privs...)
open up a dos window, and remove all the attributes of the file
C:\Boot.ini
then, make a folder on your c-drive and put the file from the
(lnxboot.sec) in this folder...Example...
from dos window,
attrib C:\Boot.ini -s -h -r
md C:\LinuxBoot
copy a:\lnxboot.sec C:\Linuxboot
after you have done this, then edit the boot.ini file...
The quickest thing to do, is add one line...It should look something
like this:
C:\LBOOT\LNXBOOT.SEC="Debian Linux!"
then save the file...
Exit the dos prompt, and reboot the computer...
When the WinNT boot screen comes up, you should see a choice that says
whatever you put in, like "Debian Linux!" Just select it, and press
enter... If all goes well, and is done correctly, then your Linux
System Will boot...
Let me know if this works...
